Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes that lower-level needs such as physiological and safety needs must be met before an individual can focus on fulfilling higher-level needs such as self-esteem and self-actualization. However, if lower-level needs are not met, they may emerge and take priority over higher-level needs at any time.
